I recall seeing one though, which I'm sure was a 3rd party network stack. It was around 1996ish that I saw it, so I don't remember who made it, but I remember trying one and running a text-based web browser in DOS (maybe a DOS port of Lynx).

I don't remember for sure, but I think it may have been related to Kali, a piece of software that let you play DOS IPX/SPX network games over the internet by translating IPX/SPX to TCP/IP. However, the Kali software I was using at the time was for Win9x, so maybe it wasn't related to Kali..
